I don't think all the articles stating Mr. Abraham's view, differentiating between the average muslim and radical fundamentalists, 'jihadists' and terrorists are written by people being fooled by a muslim "trojan horse".

That sentence is a bit hard to follow. But I'll cut you some slack because it appears that English isn't your native tongue.

Anderson certainly produced a thought provoking treatise. But he is only one voice among many.

Steve Emerson & Daniel Pipes have both put forth studied analyses of how deeply the jihadi mindset is rooted in islam.

Which brings me back to the main point of my previous post that you either purposely avoided or it went over your head.

So, I will restate & (hopefully) simplify:

If the great majority of muslims oppose the position of the radical jihadi, why is it not publicly denounced worldwide?

The silence of 1.2 billion people speaks volumes.

IMO, it is either naive or disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

Hmmm.....I don't have a problem with that sentence.....

"he is only one voice among many." That's what the sentence was saying....."all the articles stating Mr. Abraham's view" (written by other people) are not being "fooled by a muslim trojan horse").

Yes, jihad is 'rooted' in Islam, no one's arguing that. What they do say is that, " The Jihadist are NOT like us, nor most of their fellow Muslims."
That was my point. This article isn't an attack on muslims; it's about jihadists, the radicals, terrorists.

There has been denunciation. There were links posted a couple days ago. I wish more muslims would publicly speak out more. But on the other hand, the fact that you and others haven't heard about the denunciations "speaks volumes" about the media, and what they choose to report.

"The silence of 1.2 billion people speaks volumes."

Can you show me where billions of Christians have publicly denounced terrorism?

Their silence is equally deafening, or so it would seem that way.

But yet, you and I both saw millions world-wide denouncing the invasion of Iraq.

So, if one would follow your argument to its logical conclusion, it would appear that Christians support the Jihad as well.

Then again, my guess is that you've never really looked for the answer.

And yes, discard CAIR's statement, but don't dismiss them all based on that.
